Crab Bee Hoon ($92)
.
The crab bee hoon here at Long Ji Zi Char has been raved by countless and it’s not hard to understand why. The thing that first hits me is that wok-hei, the well fried bee hoon that’s full of that smokey and slightly char-ry taste, consistent in every spoonful of bee hoon. The gravy was also not spared. That brownish gravy that’s full of umami goodness from the crab slurps up so well together with the bee hoon the plate was almost bone dry after the ordeal. The star of the show has to be that succulent crab which did not die in vain as I peeled off every bit of delicious flesh without much effort. With that gravy coating the flesh, I only wished there was more crab to go around. This has to be the star dish of the evening but while the rest of the dishes for the evening were good, a revisit would probably occur at a much later date.
